Sneak Preview - National Compressed Air Rifle/Pistol
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 11:51 am
Hi all.
Here is a sneak preview into the IHP manufactured Compressed Air Rifle and Pistol.
The pistol did not have any major changes, but the trigger movement showd a little improvement. Everything else including the grip 'pinch' remains.
The rilfle is remarkable in terms of having to design and manufacture this with only existing (age-old) machinery; the balance seemed pretty good, a little heavier then the Feinwerkbau Alu stock, but the overall feeling seemed good. This is also available with Open Sights. (What I have posted is the Peep-sight version). The adjustments that can be made, which are not yet finalized, seemed just adequate for a shooter. No 'several' screws and adjustments - just 'simply' nice!
As of now, there is only one working prototype, which was exhibited in the N.S.C.C. at Ahmedabad. Production should start soon (in a month's time) and the exected price is about 20K plus Tax, Vat, whatever. Still sounds pretty reasonable.
Thanks to Dr. Shirsat, Indians now have a really 'affordable' and supposedly acccurate-enough weapon to begin Target shooting with. No more import/beg-officials/plead-dad/bribe-customs required. Your all-new Peep-Sight, all-metal (with a little bit of good wood) Sports Air Rifle is here.
I wish IHP and Doc all the very best in making more of such designs and keep improving!
ALERT - I got this when I tried to post a pic - "Sorry, but the maximum filesize for all Attachments is reached. Please contact the Board Administrator if you have questions."
No idea what this means. But will soon post the pic after I have resolved the problem.
